One of the biggest challenges facing judo instructors today is the frequent turn-over in student enrollments. Judo classes for young people often dwindle in size after a few lessons because many students get discouraged or become fearful at trying to learn throws, flips or seemingly complicated holds. Most judo classes for youngsters are adapted from adult judo classes and children find them uninteresting, sometimes intimidating and usually beyond their attention span.

This DVD is created for instructors and concerned parents as a guide to judo training for small children and beginning students. Whether in formal judo attire (a judo gi or uniform) or comfortable clothes, students and instructors alike will find the methods of training presented here easy to follow and even easier to perform. My goal is to help teach judo to anyone willing to take the time to view and follow the instructions I have prepared.
